Mating LS427 to T56...

[roguegeek]

I'm needing to mate the GM LS427/570 to the GM T56. I have the engine, trans, bell housing, and clutch. Need to grab a flywheel (could use a recommendation on that). I've read and seen general articles on the assembly of it all and they all make it sound like it goes together like legos, but I'd like validation from this group. I have the engine still sitting on the crate base. I have the trans leveled on a trans jack. So a couple of questions...

• Can you guys give me a quick rundown of assembly? I can't imagine it really is as simple as bolt, bolt, bolt. Is there any kind of alignment or something as such that needs to be done?
• Other than the flywheel, is there anything else I'm missing for assembly?
• Can I use the wooden crate base to do all assembly on? Should I have the engine supported by the hoist? Should I have the trans supported by the jack?
• Is there anything else obvious to the group but not to me that I'm missing here?

Any and all feedback is much appreciated. Thanks!
